Whats the difference?

Quote From: rissa140

From reading you post it sounds like you have a problem with anorexia also! I hope for the sake of your life & family that you are getting help or are thinking about getting help because this is serious! It just upsets me to see and hear about people with this disorder! I myself am on the heavier side, close to 300 lbs and I'm 5'2, which is catergorized as being "obese". Do I want to lose weight? OF COURSE, but when I see and hear about people who suffer from anorexia and/or buliemia, I say to myself & other people that I would rather stay at the weight I am right now for the rest of my life, then be anorexic & deathly thin! Being anorexic does NOT help or solve anything!!! You become so obsessed with being thin, that you become TOO THIN and end up putting your life more at risk!!! There certainly is NOTHING healthy about being anorexic & there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING good that comes from having this disorder!!! I REALLY hope you realize the damage you're doing to yourself, not only physically but also emotionally & mentally and I seriously hope you get the help you need to break out of this before its too late!!! PLEASE, PLEASE GET SOME HELP, ASAP!!! If you or anyone else wants to talk about this, feel free to email me at Lorissa140@ aol.com!

When I reply to this, I am in no way being judgemental of you, but I do think that why you clearly see the dangers of Anorexia or Bulemia, it is as if you're not quite informed of the heallth risks of obesity. You are right, anorexia is a HUGE health risk, but obesity is just as great of one. You being 300 lbs and 5'2 is extremely unhealthy. Imagine the strain that puts on your heart. I apologize if I come across rude, just stating my opinion.

more than just dieting

I dont think your being judgmental at all, I can totally see where your coming from & I should've made this clear the first time....... Believe me, I KNOW all about the risks over being overweight! I've heard it from my doctors, read about it online, etc. I've been checked for high blood pressure, diabetes & all that other stuff and as of now, I DONT have any of of it.......and I will continue to get checked for them! I should also add that i've been trying to lose weight for the longest time! I've tried tons of diets and even went on weight watchers for a few months where I lost about 15-20 lbs....the most I had EVER lost on a diet or program! But the same thing always happens, somehow I fall of track and quit for a while! It may also be genetic, cause a lot of my family is heavy and struggling with their weights! I am currently, again, trying to lose weight and REALLY hope to have better luck succeeding this time around! And I apologize If I come across rude, but I STILL would rather be at the weight I am then be going through anorexia and I'm pretty sure my family would be more concerned for me (not that they arent concerned now, my mom tries to help me) if I were anorexic than at my current weight! But believe me when I say that I AM aware of the risks of being obese and AM trying to change it.....just like I hope YOU are trying to change! Its all about the sake of our health! Thats just my opinion!

I think you've gotten thei mpression that I have an eating disorder, I don't, just completely fascinated (that sounds morbid) by eating disorders. You say you've tried tons of diets, have you tried exercising? You WILL stop losing weigh if you don't exercise. Exercise and water are the only completely sure fire way to lose weight. I wish you the best of luck, and I hope you continue to make better choices for your life. ALSO, I am curious, what is PSW?
